AbstractTitle: Open Source and the Smart Grid.

Abstract: Open Source initiatives have created platforms for innovation in numerous domains. The global internet is the best example of this, but infrastructure elements as diverse as Health Services Delivery to Voice Communications to Community Education have all benefited from the development of Open Source, Publicly Licensed information technologies.

The Smart Grid infrastructure likewise will benefit from numerous open source implementations of the body of open standards being cataloged by the SGIP. This paper surveys the current open source efforts and how they are being used within the deployments today as well as articulating a vision for "Utility Grade" open source platforms that provide end-2-end operational stacks for global energy infrastructure.
